Summary

This study looked at how two natural brain chemicals, oxytocin and vasopressin, change brain wave patterns in healthy adults. 120 participants received nasal sprays and had their brain activity measured with EEG during rest and tasks. The goal was to understand these chemicals' role in emotion and behavior, not to treat any disease.
